Client securely uploading tax documents to Dana Snedden CPA in Oshawa

Getting your tax information to us is quick and secure — and you never have to come into the office unless you'd like to. Here's everything you need, the ways to send it, and how you'll review and sign your completed return.

What to gather

Round up the slips and receipts that apply to your year. You don't need every item below — just send what's relevant to you.

  • T4 — employment income
  • T4A — pensions, commissions, self-employed
  • T4E — employment insurance
  • T4A(P) / T4A(OAS) — CPP & Old Age Security
  • T5 — investment income
  • T3 — trust / mutual fund income
  • T5008 — securities transactions
  • T2202 — tuition
  • RRSP contribution receipts
  • Medical expense receipts
  • Charitable donation receipts
  • Child care receipts
  • Rental income & expenses
  • Prior-year Notice of Assessment

This list isn't exhaustive — every situation is different. If you're self-employed or have rental income, our Income & Expenses Worksheet makes it easy to total everything up before you send it.

We prepare your return

Once you're happy with your return, you sign your authorization and we e-file it with the CRA on your behalf.

What if I'm still missing a slip?
Send us what you have and let us know what's outstanding. Many slips are also available in your CRA My Account. We'll flag anything we still need before your return is finalized.

We send you your copy of the completed return to review and sign — in person, securely by e-Courier at no charge, or by FedEx for a flat $20. You receive one copy, and it's yours to keep. Once you've signed your authorization, we e-file your return with the CRA.

Will you review my return with me?
